The Evening Arabic program is geared towards students, professionals, and expats interested in learning, improving, and perfecting their Arabic. The program is oriented to students of various levels of study and professions and focuses on the integration into the Arab culture, taking into account the fact that many of these people have busy schedules during the day. It provides them with a suitable atmosphere after their daily activities to acquire communication skills directly by meeting their needs, interests, hobbies, skills, and competencies.
Qalam wa Lawh offers convenient and affordable evening classes in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), Moroccan Arabic, Diplomatic Arabic, and Business Arabic to meet students’ professional and personal goals and to improve the use of Arabic in daily and family life, work, and public places.
Why Offer Arabic Courses in the Evening?
As the governmental and administrative capital of an Arab country, Rabat is home to an international community of expats, diplomats, and business people of various cultures and backgrounds all working together. With a population of 1.5 million people, Rabat is a hub for foreigners and Moroccans alike who need Arabic for academic and professional reasons.
There seems to be no other comprehensive and integrated evening Arabic language program in the area that provides an educational series based on self- and collective learning that meets the needs of a range of learners (from beginners to language learners to a skilled practitioner). There is also an urgent need for intercultural communication between people of Arabic culture and those of other international cultures in the context of the exchange of knowledge and usefulness of cultures and the convergence of understanding at all levels.
Evening Arabic Program Courses
The purpose of the Evening Arabic program is to improve students’ Arabic language communication and grammar skills through comprehensive and specialized courses to achieve Arabic fluency quickly. The program works to provide a quality learning environment for students who want to learn Arabic or enhance their communication skills, but do not have time during the day to attend courses. Qalam’s team of highly-trained Arabic teachers – experts in the field of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers – provides an integrated, modern and interactive education for both native and non-native Arabic speakers.
To accelerate students’ Arabic language skills, classes focus on linguistic, communicative, and cultural competencies and use program vocabulary that considers the students’ life and work in Morocco. This vocabulary will build from a diverse range of texts that focus on everyday Arabic communication but also address common cultural and social issues. Because Qalam’s teachers consider different ways of learning, teaching, and brainstorming, courses take place in bright, spacious classrooms and include active learning strategies and problem-solving. Qalam also provides small group and tutoring assistance to help students progress in their Arabic language abilities as fast as possible.
